Winters in Delhi are truly unique. As the National Capital shivers in freezing temperatures, people find comfort in indulging in winter-special delicacies.
One such treat that stands out is daulat ki chaat. This dessert-like chaat is available only during the winter months, as its preparation requires low light and cold weather. A food vlogger recently shared a video on Instagram, taking social media users through the elaborate process of making daulat ki chaat. Stay tuned till the end – the final product will leave you craving for the sweet treat.
The food vlogger reveals that daulat ki chaat was once enjoyed by Mughal emperors during their lavish dawaats. The video begins with a vendor churning a mixture of milk and cream using a mathani (wooden churner). This process creates a frothy texture, which is then poured into a separate pan. Saffron milk is added and whisked thoroughly before even more saffron milk is drizzled over the mixture. The light and airy frothy balls are topped with sheets of varq (edible silver paper) and crumbled kurchan. Finally, the chaat is garnished with chopped pistachios, karara (coarsely powdered sugar) and dry fruits.
